As days passed news of whatever happened in Hastinapur's sabha spread throughout the Aryavart. People were agast to whatever happened, to think that a woman was going to be disrobed in Sabha that too when her husbands were present and she wasn't an ordinary woman but common wife of Pandavas, the samragi of Aaryavrat. Those identity were enough to install fear in most of Aaryavrat. They sympathize with Draupadi, first she has to divide herself now her husband gambled her like possession. Even her other four husbands except Sahdev didn't even try to help her when she was being disrobed. The anger of people were more on Pandavas, they expected this from Duryodhana as he was known for being evil and Adharmi but Pandavas were epitome of goodness and Dharm. They were shocked by their this deed, especially Yudhishthir the Dharmraj to think that he would gamble his kingdom, brother and wife away. When they heard that Karna has saved the dignity and honour of a woman, their respect for him has truly skyrocketed. Everyone was aware of matters between him and Pandavas but even then he came and saved their wife. They could help bow in respect of his greatness. When they heard Kunti slapped him and scolded him to go away, they couldn't believe what she had done and how she repaid to savior and benefactor of her children. When they Karna the Daanveer gave what Kunti has asked for, they became sad for him. When they heard the punishment of Pandavas after Karna left they felt it was right and deserving except Sahdev and Draupadi. They mocked Kunti for her foolishness and reason to increase the misery of her children. No wonder Pandavas were such if this is their mother and upbringing. Though Duryodhana was famed as evil but no person in the entire Aaryavrat could question Ghandhari but Kunti became subject of mockery in entire Aaryavrat. The people even question were Pandavas really Devputra or Kunti has lied to everyone. If they are Devputra then entire Aaryavrat is happy to have ordinary child. What happened in Hastinapur is recognised as new low for entire Aaryavrat.
Not only commoners but also the royals of entire Aaryavrat were talking about the incidents. News of Bheeshma, Ghandhari and Dushala leaving Hastinapur too reached to them through their spies. Many kings were not thinking about what happened in sabha but wheter to attack Hastinapur as it was clearly weak as Mahamahim Bheeshma has left but they decided to wait as there are still Maharathi in Hastinapur. But they were secretly preparing their army, if one of greater empire tries to attack Hastinapur they would surely support them or take advantage of opportunities. Entire Aaryavrat was tensed because and ready for battle as Hastinapur lost its backbone. While there is one Kingdom that Almost went to war with Hastinapur and it was none other than southern Panchal.
Flashback
Drupad was in his Sabha, his entire sabha was there with Dristadhyum and shikhandi. Sabha was processing normally the sudden a spy came there. Seeing the spy.
Drupad : What happened spy why have you came here, is there any kingdom going to attack us?
Spy : No maharaj, that is not the case but the information I have is more important than that.
Dristadhyum : What can be more important than that.
Spy was fidgeting, not know how to form words to tell them what happened.
Shikhandi : What happened spy, why are you not telling us what happened?
Spy : The news is such, I can't seem to find words to express it.
Drupad : You don't need to worry tell us straightforwardly what has happened.
Spy took deep breath and decided to speak he told them everything. The news has shocked them so much they couldn't spray even after spy told everything. They all were standing up in between the information but they waited the spy to give them complete information. After spy told them everything.
Drupad : What! How can Pandavas do this to my daughter, I have given them a part of my heart and my honor, my beautiful daughter and this is how they treated my daughter. What king of beast did take birth in Kuruvansh. What were Bheeshma and Drona doing. Is this the upbringing of Hastinapur. My Putri has already made such huge sacrifice for them was it not enough that Yudhishthir gambled her too. And that Adharmi Duryodhana ordered to disrobe my daughter, what were Pandavas except Sahdev were doing? Is these the mighty warrior, the Devputra that married my daughter. If they can't even save her dignity then what was use of Digvijaya and being Samrat?
Shikhandi : what did you expect Pitashree, the foundation of Hastinapur was laid on injustice of women. First late Maharaj Shantanu did to Mata ganga, them Bheeshma did to Amba, Ambika and Ambalika after that Dhritarashtra did to Ghandhari with help of Bheeshma. How would you expect their vansh to respect women. Bheeshma was also Devputra Pitashree you expected too much from them.
Drupad : You are right, Shikhandi prepare the army we will go war with Hastinapur and Indraprastha. I will avenge my daughter and kill not only Kauravas but Pandavas too. I will kill everyone in that Sabha.
Shikhandi : ji Pitashree.
Kulguru of Panchal stopped them saying they aren't ready for war with Hastinapur, as they had bigger ay and better warriors. Where as Panchal is already dividec and the s weak against them. The whole courtroom made Drupad understand that it was worst choice and he will add to misery of Draupadi if he too died avenging her. She will loose her family and home in Panchal. Drupad was adamant till Draupadi wasn't included in conversation. He faltered knowing his daughter will suffer if her paternal family died too. He sat back on his throne and told everyone to leave him alone. Everyone went except Shikhandi and Dristadhyum. Drupad has tears flowing through his eyes thinking about his daughter and his helplessness. His children didn't leave as they want to be there for him.
Shikhandi : Don't worry Pitashree, we are not able now but we will be in few years. Bheeshma has left Hastinapur so it's weak we will surely avenge Draupadi. Dristadhyum and I will prepare for war. Dristadhyum why are you silent say something.
Dristadhyum : I am thinking about Samrat Radhey Karna, jiji. Thanks to trinity they made him come and stop Draupadi's disrobing. We have given him nothing but scorn. We have enimity and not only us Pandavas too have enimity with him. Draupadi has told us what a big Adharmi he is But if he is Adharmi then why have he saved the daughter and wife of their enemy. I don't know how but with Mahadev grace he came but he still didn't need to save her but he did. Look what happened to him after saving her, instead getting rewarded he got slap and insult. He has faced injustice jii.
Hearing Dristadhyum, Drupad became more ashamed, his two children don't know about him and Draupadi but he knew. After loosing to him in his first war he was angered so as he come to know that he was king of Brahmnagri. To satisfy himself he belittled him and after loosing to Vrushali he became bitter. But now it was him that saved his daughter, his honour to be tarnished infront of entire Aaryavrat. He thought it would be much better if her daughter married him only, he saw Karna's protection of Vrushali not that she needed it. If he didn't let his pride get in between then may be her daughter would not have to face this. Another sin he did to her after asking he pains in Yagna.
Shikhandi : Yes, I too believe we were wrong about him but why has she saved her.
Drupad : Because he too is husband of Draupadi.
Shikhandi and Dristadhyum : What?
Drupad then told them the entire truth, how Draupadi was married to him with Pandavas, her rejection, his warning and insult etc.
Drupad : At that time I have said I would kill him,b now I realised how laughable my behavior and warning seemed to him. He alone has defeated me, Shalya and shishupal along with our army, he even defeat all the Maharathi of Aaryavrat alone. In my arrogance I told him to stay away from draupadi look now only he saved her. It is my mistake I have ask for his forgiveness.
Shikhandi and Dristadhyum were shocked hearing everything.
Dristadhyum : What kind of person is he? How big is his heart, I think nobody else would have saved Draupadi if they were in his place.
Shikhandi : Yes I agree, with his strength he would have easily killed the Pandavas and is if he wanted revenge but it is us who always start the fight.
Drupad : Yes, I agree with you, he gave us jeevan daan repeatedly but we have always thought it as insult. It seems people don't call him Danveer for nothing.
Flashback ends.
The news have also reach to Subhadra, she couldn't believe this happened. She was hurt before but she became angry at Arjun and rest Pandavas. Draupadi was elder sister to her and to think she had to go through everything because of Pandavas. She then thought about Karna, and became angry when she heard Kunti has slapped him. She knew about him from his brother that how kind and righteous he is but she personally have felt that few days after she left Indraprastha.
Flashback
After she fought with Arjun she left Indraprastha being hurt by what he said about her brother. She devide not go back to either Indraprastha or Dwarka. She was roaming in the jungle as she decided to see if she can find the ashram of sage and serve him. She was roaming the suddenly sounds of Chariot coming was heard, she thought it was Arjun's she was happy that he realised his mistake but she wasn't going to forgive him but when she saw it belongs to Karna, who was riding it. She was taken back, Karna Stopped his chariot in front of her. She wasn't worried that he would harm her, he brother has always praised Karna and she trusted her brother enough. Karna came to her
Karna : Pranipat Devi.
Subhadra : Pranipat Maharaj. Why are you here.
Karna : That is my question devi, why are you here I know about your fight with Arjun, even if you laft Indraprastha you should go to Dwarka. Jungle is not safe place for you. Your family would be worried for you especially your brothers.
Subhadra : Maharaj, do you truly believe my brother didn't know where I am, he know and he knows my decision too. I can't always go back to Dwarka and now I don't want to go back to Indraprastha.
Karna : Devi, I am responsible both for your fight with Arjun and you being here. If you don't want to go to Indraprastha or Dwarka then come to Brahmnagri with me as my sister. You are sister of Shreemaan Balram and Krishna you are like sister to me. Abhimanyu too in Brahmnagri, come for him atleast.
Subhadra : Why is Abhimanyu there.
Karna : he came to be my student.
Subhadra : And you accepted him, did you not know who he was.
Karna : I get to know his identity after we talked, he wanted to be my student and prabhu seems to think of same. So I have accepted him, I stated his training in the name of test. I will teach him according to his capabilities.
Subhadra : I am greatfull that you accepted him as your student. Teach him well maharaj. My son is not like others he grew under the care of narayan himself so he is different.
Karna : I know but one has to prove himself, birth, upbringing and influence can give you morals but it us who have to decide whether we want to follow it or not. Don't worry I would teach him what he is worthy of.
Subhadra : Thank you.
Karna : Then come with me to Brahmnagri.
Subhadra : I can't, he ia too small get entangled and understand adult. I have already decided to stay in ashram to seve a sage.
Karna : I will respect you decision, I know about a place where Ashram is, it's not far away. Come with me I will drop you these as this jungle is not safe for you.
Karna then too his Charioteer seat and made Subhadra climb on the chariot. They both then reached to Ashram of rishis he dropped her there and went away.
Flashback ends.
Subhadra wasn't stupid, when suddenly few more people decided to come and serve the ashram, she knew it was Karna's way to take care of her safety. She never met such Human in her life, she realised at that time that his brother was understating about Karna. Hearing such injustice happened to him she became sad.
In Indraprastha.
News reached Indraprastha too. The citizen of Indraprastha was shocked hearing that their King gambled them. Forget them he even staked his brothers and wife and lost everything. If that wasn't worst then what happened next disgusted them to core. They immediately became enraged not only Yudhishthir lost everything they earned by their hard work but played with life of their family. They didn't want to follow such King, when they arrived here it was matter of pride for them to be citizens of kingdom build by dev and Devputra were there king but not it has became their greatest shame. Lower caste were already angry with Pandavas but now even the upper caste were disgusted. They decided to leave Indraprastha for ever as they knew no one was safe here anymore and they didn't want a king who gambled with their life. They decided Brahmnagri, some upper caste to went there because they knew of Karna generosity and visited Brahmnagri before. But the staunch followers of caste system went to different Kingdom of Aaryavrat be it upper or lower caste. They even questions among each othe were their King really Devputra then how can they do something that was unheard of even among Asur. The began to question them and Kunti. While they sympathize with draupadi but if she isn't safe then whiat about their own wife, sister, daughter, mother etc.
Seeing the citizen Pandavas couldn't do anything, they know it all because of their foolishness and they were responsible for this. Before leaving some lower caste people who was not given justice by Yudhishthir burned the dummy of Pandavas in their previous residence. Some even went as far as destroyed their house to show their displeasure. The citizen of Indraprastha became scare. Pandavas were very distressed seeing this, the reaction of their subjects were too extreme. Fearing an accident might happen, they first sent kunti back to Hastinapur under the protection of their trusted soldiers and they themselves stayed before the gate of servants quater where Draupadi was. Draupadi has decided to live like Karna, like him she eat only once and her time in prayers. Only Sahdev came into the room to give her water and food. He sat beside her and like her he too followed and helped her.
